What OS for Your Netbook? Duh, Linux!
,----[ Quote ]
| I did a little experiment over the summer. I installed Ubuntu Linux on the
| family PC and walked away. That’s right! I left them there hanging - no
| support, whatsoever! Guess what? Not one, I REPEAT, not one said “I want my
| Windows XP back!’. With Firefox, Pidgin and OpenOffice they were cooking with
| gas and I neither got food burned nor was short-sheeted.

With money tight, is it Linux's time to shine?
,----[ Quote ]
| As Linux becomes easier to configure and maintain, open-source in the SoHo
| environment will become commonplace (as it is in data centers). As I'm a
| die-hard Mac fan, you may wonder how I feel about Linux. Well, my Lilliputian
| Asus kneetop came with Linux pre-installed and - surprise - I actually like
| it

| I’m living the dream, I tell you! I’ve swapped my MacBook for a Dell Mini and
| so far the experience has been pretty positive.

Moving from Mac to Ubuntu: Why I’m switching
,----[ Quote ]
| Why I’m leaving Mac
|
| 1. Crap file management.The Finder doesn’t work for me. No location bar
| and no tree strucure side panel makes it difficult to navigate folders and
| move files around the way I want to.
| 2. Insufficient panels & customization. In Ubuntu I can have as many
| panels I want, can put all kinds of stuff on them, and can arrange them
| however I want. In OSX You just have the dock, and you can really only put
| applications or files on them, and you can’t even put in a separator to
| keep them organized.
| 3. Various other annoyances. Such as:
| * program menus are glued to the top of the screen on one monitor
| only, which detaches them from the window. This is especailly
| annoying when the program you’re using is on the second monitor.
| * the date/time doesn’t open to a navigable calendar. I often use
| this to check dates in the past or future.
| * you can’t see hidden files unless you run a command from the
| terminal to turn them on. Thus, hidden files are either always on
| or always off.
